Cool utility to change the Dell BIOS splash logo...(Notebooks only)

[Abhi]

Nice little utility... from Dell ......Here

"Release Title: System Utilities: Dell Portables POST Bitmap Update Program, Utility, English

This program allows you to replace the image that is displayed during the Power-On Self Test (POST) of your Dell Portable computer."

Basically, lets you replace the ugly Dell logo with any 640X480, 16 colour, BMP file.

This works with a LOT more models than mentioned on the site. Download the file to get a complete list of all models it works on. I am sure it does with the 8500/8600.

Btw, here's what i changed mine to Ibm.jpg

The description says you require a floppy for using this utility, but you can use this utility if you have a USB Drive or even if you have a CD RW...

All you need is a bootable media to dos.
